This stone is not big, only two feet square. However, the gap between the stone and the side is extremely small, so a very thin blade can be inserted into it. It takes no effort to cut through such a small gap.
It is not easy to take out the stone.
Fortunately, Han Du was not short of time now. Since the gap was too small to use any force, he simply started from the side. He chiseled away a few inches of the stone, then carved out several depressions on the stone, and used iron to
Hook the hook, and then work together to pull out the stone.
Han Du's method worked quickly. The weight of the stone was not small, but with the combined efforts of several teams of soldiers, it was still pulled out bit by bit.
After the stone was completely taken out, everyone discovered that it turned out to be a stone pillar about ten feet long.
Togus Timur held up the torch and looked into the cave, raised his head and said with certainty: "The things are down there. Send someone down to get them."
Then he handed the torch to the soldiers next to him and left without looking back. He was not willing to stay here for a moment longer. After thinking about it for a moment, one can guess a bit of the mood of Timur. This was passed down from his ancestors.
If you give away this important treasure so easily, no matter who it is, you will definitely not feel good.
But he had no choice but to survive!
Han Du looked at the hole, which was two feet square in size, making it impossible for ordinary people to get down. He raised his head and glanced at Xu Chengfei, and said: "Find someone with a thin body, the thinner the better."
Xu Chengfei nodded, turned around and ordered to go down. .??.
Soon, a short and thin soldier was brought to Han Du.
Xu Chengfei brought this man up to him and said to Han Du: "Master Marquis, although he may be small in stature, in fact, this boy is made of steel and iron bones. He is very strong. Ordinary soldiers are no match for him."
Han Du was a little skeptical of Xu Chengfei's words, because in Han Du's consciousness, a person's strength is related to the strength of his body, and there is a direct proportional relationship.
Can a thin person still be a strong man?
Han Du didn't say anything, but stretched out his hand and squeezed the man's arm hard. Han Du felt that what he pinched was not a human arm, but a piece of wood.
This guy is skinny, but his muscles are as hard as a rock. It seems that this guy's strength is definitely not weak. Xu Chengfei didn't brag about this guy.
Letting go of his hand, Han Du asked this person: "What's your name?"
The man grinned, scratched his head in embarrassment, and replied: "Master Hou, my family is poor and I can't afford to ask a scholar to give me a name, so I don't have a big name. Growing up, everyone called me
Little skinny monkey.”
"How can a person not have a famous name?" Han Du shook his head lightly, thought for a moment and then said: "Let's do this, you tell me what your last name is, and I will give you a name without charging you any money."
The thin monkey had not yet reacted to Han Du's words, and looked at Han Du in a daze without saying a word.
Seeing his stunned look, Xu Chengfei kicked him angrily.
"The Marquis gave you a name. This is a great blessing for you. Why don't you quickly thank the Marquis?"
Xu Chengfei didn't hold back his strength with this kick, but this skinny monkey was indeed extremely strong with steel and iron bones. Xu Chengfei's kick hit his leg, and he just staggered without any pain at all.
You know, Xu Chengfei is a fierce general, and his strength is far beyond ordinary people. But even so, this skinny monkey can easily resist this kick just by relying on instinctive reaction.
The skinny monkey reacted immediately, cupped his fists and bowed to Handu: "Thank you, Lord Marquis."
But after the thin monkey finished paying his respects, he scratched his head and was afraid to look at Han Du, and said hesitantly: "I can't remember things when I was young. My father told me my last name when I left home, but I have long forgotten it."
If he even forgot his last name, then it would be difficult for him to intervene.
Han Du thought for a moment, shook his head slightly, and gave up the idea of naming Slim Monkey. He smiled and said, "Okay, then I will still call you Slim Monkey."
Xu Chengfei stood aside and scratched his head anxiously, wishing to kick the skinny monkey again, but he was worried that it would be bad to do this again and again in front of Han Du, so in the end he had to keep winking at the skinny monkey, feeling anxious.
How many people give money and gifts in order to be remembered by those in power. There are only a few people who can be remembered by those in power.
What a rare opportunity it is for Slim Monkey to be given a name by Han Du now? As long as Han Du is willing to give him a name, it means that he has come within Han Du's sight and remembered him.
Han Du can't even forget his own name, right?
What a shame, this idiot Shouhou actually forgot his own last name and missed such an opportunity in vain. Even Xu Chengfei couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
But Shouhou didn't notice it at all, and he was able to laugh and talk to Han Du: "Master Hou, I have something to ask Xiao Xiao, but please
Order."
Han Du was very satisfied with the attitude of the thin monkey. He pointed to the pothole with a smile and said: "I want you to go down and help me get something. Don't worry, as long as you can get the thing up, I will be able to help you."
reward."
The thin monkey looked at the hole, scratched his head a little, and said with some embarrassment: "In response to Mr. Hou, if the hole is small, it is possible to go down, but it is so deep, even if the hole is small, there is no way to come up."
"Don't worry, I have already thought of it. Tie two ropes around your legs. After you go down and get the things, shout a few times and I will pull you up when you hear the sound." Han Du said patiently.
Thin Monkey explained.
And he said: "But I want to remind you, no matter when you go down or when you are pulled up, you can't panic at all. Otherwise, once you panic and get stuck in the pothole, there is nothing we can do."
I've pulled you out. Don't worry, as long as you don't panic and don't get yourself stuck, there will be no problem." ??
Seeing that Shouhou was somewhat understanding but also a little scared, Han Du had to emphasize the importance of calmness to him and try to calm him down as much as possible.
The thin monkey quickly returned to normal under Han Du's comfort. He nodded solemnly towards Han Du, indicating that he understood and was ready.
Without hesitation, Han Du immediately asked someone to tie the rope to the skinny monkey's leg, and then the skinny monkey quickly climbed into the pit. Watching the rope being brought into the pit bit by bit by the skinny monkey, Han Du couldn't help but squeeze.
He raised his fingers, feeling a little nervous.
The rope suddenly stopped, and Han Du was so nervous that he almost screamed, thinking that the thin monkey had encountered an accident.
Fortunately, after a while, the thin monkey's voice came.
"I got it, pull me out quickly."
When the soldiers guarding the pit ready to pull the rope heard this, they quickly pulled the thin monkey out because they heard something was wrong with the tone of the thin monkey's voice.
Fortunately, Han Du immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Take your time and pull it bit by bit."
After saying that, You Zi worriedly shouted to the thin monkey in the pothole: "Don't panic, you don't have to do anything, don't put any force on your legs, just wait for us to pull you out."
The thin monkey became more and more nervous. When he heard Han Du's words, he immediately calmed down and subconsciously did as Han Du said.
Relax, don't exert force, and let your legs be pulled outward by the rope.
It seems like only a moment has passed, and it seems like a lifetime has passed.
Long. When the light reappeared in front of his eyes, the thin monkey immediately sat down on the ground, sucking in the air.
Looking at the gold box held by the thin monkey, Han Du did not take it immediately, but looked into his eyes with a smile and asked: "How is it? How do you feel?"
The thin monkey calmed down a lot, smiled bitterly at Han Du, and said: "I don't dare to hide it from the Marquis. The little one doesn't know what's going on. Just for a moment down there, the little one seemed to be dying.
I'm getting more and more panicked, and if Mr. Hou hadn't spoken out, the little one would have struggled desperately to get out."
"If you struggle, you won't be able to get out." Han Du smiled and patted the thin monkey on the shoulder to comfort him.
Shouhou also felt a sense of fear in his heart. Fortunately, he remembered the Marquis's instructions and could subconsciously obey the Marquis's words. Otherwise, once he struggled, he would really be stuck in it.
"Master Marquis, the little one got it." After the thin monkey recovered, he realized that the box was still in his hand, and he quickly raised his hands and handed it to Han Du.
Han Du nodded slightly, smiled, and reached out to take the gold box. It was heavy and weighed about ten or twenty kilograms. He looked up, down, left, left, and right carefully, and Han Du couldn't find any cracks in the box.
.And the six sides are exactly the same, there is no place to open the box.
This box is obviously a kind of mechanical box made by skilled craftsmen. If you don't know how to open it, you won't be able to open it at all.
However, although Han Du doesn't know how to open it, someone must know it.
Han Du came to Togu Si Timur with the gold box and gestured to him with a smile.
Togu Si Timur also understood what Han Du meant. Since he told Han Du where the thing was hidden and Han Du still took it out, he had nothing to hide.
Togu Si Timur turned the box with both hands, and after confirming one of the faces, he stretched out his hand on the edges, corners, etc. of the box and pressed several times in a certain order.
When the last button was pressed, a mechanical clicking sound was heard from inside the golden box. There was no gap at all, it was just a complete top piece, which immediately split into several pieces.
Opening the top along the cracked opening, Han Du saw a box made of unknown wood and with intricate carvings inside.
Han Du let out a breath and carefully took out the wooden box. Opening it slowly, he immediately saw the carmine red satin as the base, setting off a jade seal.
